Technical writeup

Mondelez International, proprietor of Cadbury and numerous other snack brands, publicly acknowledged severe NotPetya disruption in late June 2017, with insurers and trade post-mortems citing on the order of thousands of servers and tens of thousands of laptops damaged and roughly >$100M in insured-property/BI claims that fueled a multi-year “war / hostile acts” coverage fight before settlement. The directory uses the `cadbury` slug as brand shorthand; legal and press filings overwhelmingly name Mondelez as the policyholder defendant.

Root cause

NotPetya wiper compromising Mondelez global IT estate (aligned with contemporaneous Ukraine-supply-chain patient-zero narratives)
